QUESTION NO: 1
A company has a BGP network and a BGP route of 196.27.125.0/24 that should be propagated to
all of the devices. The route is not now in any of the routing tables. The administrator determines
that an access list is the cause of the problem. The administrator changes the access list to allow
this route, but the route still does not appear in any of the routing tables. What should be done to
propagate this route?
A. Clear the BGP session.
B. Change both the inbound and outbound policy related to this route.
C. Use the service-policy command to adjust the QOS policy to allow the route to propagate.
D. Use the release BGP routing command.
Answer: A
Explanation:
When configuring BGP, changes made to an existing configuration may not appear immediately.
In order to force BGP to clear its table and reset BGP sessions, use the clear ip bgp * command :
Router# clear ip bgp *
The asterisk (*) is a wildcard that matches all table entries. Therefore, all BGP routes are lost while
the neighbor relationships are reset. This is expedient and very useful in a lab situation, but
caution should be exercised when issuing this command on a production router. On an Internet
backbone router, it may be more appropriate to use this command with a specific IP address, as
shown in the following:
Router# clear ip bgp 192.168.0.0

A. Level 2-3

E. Level 3
F. Level 1
Answer: B
QUESTION NO: 4
In an IS-IS environment, what happens when the designated IS router crashes?
A. The elected backup designated router takes the place of the DIS temporarily without the
necessity of a new election, until the original DIS comes back online.
B. A new election process occurs immediately, establishing a new DIS until a router with a higher
priority or MAC address establishes an adjacency.
C. A new election process occurs immediately, establishing a new DIS that will remain in place
indefinitely.
D. The elected backup designated router takes the place of the DIS indefinitely without the
necessity of a new election.
Answer: B
Explanation:
There is no backup designated router in IS-IS. Therefore, if the DIS meets an untimely death, a
new DIS would be elected, based on priority or highest MAC address. If another router comes
online with a higher priority, it will dislodge the existing DIS and rule in its place. This behavior is
different from that of OSPF. Once a new DIS is elected, the link-state databases are purged and
new LSPs are flooded.

QUESTION NO: 6
Given the network diagram, which routers currently make up the IS-IS backbone?
A. R3,R4,R6
B. R2,R3,R6,R7
C. R1 through R8
D. R3,R4,R5,R6
E. R2,R3,R4,R6,R7
Answer: E
Explanation:
An intermediate system can be a level 1 (L1) router, a level 2 (L2) router, or both (L1/L2). L1
routers are analogous to OSPF nonbackbone Internal Routers, L2 routers are analogous to OSPF
backbone routers, and L1/L2 routers are analogous to OSPF ABRs. The L1/L2 routers are
connected to L1 routers and to L2 routers. These L1/L2 routers must maintain both a level 1 link-

state database and a level 2 link-state database, in much the same way that an OSPF ABR must
maintain a separate database for each area to which it is attached. Cisco routers are configured
as L1-only, L2-only, or L1/L2 with the command is-type. By default, they are L1/L2.
Note: In actuality, routers R4 and R5 would also make up the part of the backbone, but since they
are not given as choices the best answer is E.
QUESTION NO: 7
Which two statements are true about IS-IS routing? (Choose two.)
A. Based on the default timers, OSPF detects a failure faster than IS-IS does.
B. OSPF default timers permit more tuning than IS-IS does.
C. IS-IS is more efficient than OSPF in the use of CPU resources.
D. OSPF is more scalable than IS-IS because of its ability to identify normal, stub, and NSSA
areas.
E. IS-IS and OSPF are both Open Standard, link-state routing protocols which support VLSM.
Answer: C,E
Explanation:
IS-IS is the dynamic link-state routing protocol for the OSI protocol stack. As such, IS-IS
distributes routing information for routing CLNP data for the ISO CLNS environment. When IS-IS is
used strictly for the ISO CLNS environment, it is referred to as ISO IS-IS.
Differences between IS-IS and OSPF
Although IS-IS and OSPF share many common features, they do have quite a few differences:
* Whereas OSPF routers can be part of multiple areas, an IS-IS router belongs to only one area
per routing process.
*
* In OSPF, the boundaries of areas are set in the router. The boundaries of areas are on the
network connections between routers for IS-IS, reiterating that each router is in only one area per
routing process.
* IS-IS utilizes CLNS protocol data units (PDUs) to send information between routers instead of
using IP packets, like OSPF does.
* IS-IS allows for the preempting of DRs, where OSPF does not.
* OSPF DROthers do not form adjacencies with other DROthers on broadcast multi-access
networks, while in the same environment, all IS-IS intermediate systems form adjacencies with
one another.
The backbone of an IS-IS network is designated by the type of routers in it instead of being
designated by an area number (0, in the case of OSPF).

Which is the most effective technique to contain EIGRP queries?
A. route summarization
B. establishing separate autonomous systems
C. configuring route filters
D. using a hierarchical addressing scheme
Answer: A
Explanation:
EIGRP automatically summarizes routes at the classful boundary, the boundary where the
network address ends as defined by class-based addressing. In most cases, auto summarization
is a good thing, keeping the routing tables as compact as possible
In the presence of discontiguous subnetworks, automatic summarization must be disabled for
routing to work properly. To turn off auto-summarization, use the following command:
Router(config-router)# no auto-summary
EIGRP also enables manual configuration of a prefix to use as a summary address. Manual
summary routes are configured on a per-interface basis. The interface that will propagate the route
summary must first be selected and then defined with the ip summary-address eigrp command,
which has the following syntax:
